pig receiver

A cage or bars should be included in the purchase specifications for future pig receivers.

This occurs when excess hydrostatic water is required to push the pig into the pig receiver at the end of the pipeline.

The equipment housed at the hot tap location includes a manual isolation valve, a check valve and provision for a temporary subsea pig receiver.

By accident, one pig was shot out of the end of a pipeline without a proper pig receiver and went through the side of a home 500 feet away.

Contact the manufacturer of your pig receiver for additional information regarding operating procedures, where to purchase the special wrench and how to inspect and maintain the pig receivers.

Other onshore facilities will include metering and quality monitoring equipment, temporary pig receiver facilities, a SCADA system and a small building required for SCADA and metering.
